FINAL CUT PRO 7 TIMELINE UPDATE

You don't have to update to High Sierra if you don't want to. After all, creators are notoriously attached to their software, with writer George RR Martin famously continuing to use the DOS based WordStar 4 writing application.

FINAL CUT PRO 7 TIMELINE PATCH

Someone will write up a patch to let FCP-7 open on High Sierra. Good old free Resolve is waiting for those FCP-7 users investigating other options: just be sure to get the newest beta for your testing, as beta 6 is much more stable than before. If users haven't jumped to Premiere already, it's likely the subscription fee they want to avoid and so they aren't likely to jump now. Unfortunately, Avid has hobbled Media Composer First too much to make it a real consideration if you are the type of user who is still hanging on to FCP classic. We imagine the folks at Blackmagic are both celebrating the timing of this announcement and rushing to get 14 out of beta before the official High Sierra launch.Д¬onsidering the amazing improvements with editing tools in Resolve this year, we imagine the folks at Blackmagic are both celebrating the timing of this announcement and rushing to get 14 out of Beta before the official High Sierra launch, since moving from FCP-7 straight over to Resolve would make a lot of sense for the majority of users. Avid world of 2007, the last time FCP-7 updated, we now have a broad landscape with Avid, Adobe Premiere, and Blackmagic Resolve competing for that marketshare.

Those companies now either need to stop updating their OS or move on from Final Cut.ДЄpple would like you to update to Final Cut X, its newer editing application that initially disappointed professionals but has slowly beem regaining some of the ground lost. While certain older support apps like Cinema Tools haven't opened for several generations of updates, Final Cut has continued to, and there are companies and even TV shows (See House of Cards) that continue to use it on a day to day basis. Emails went out to users (thanks to Josh Granger for informing us) who currently use FCP-7 that it won't open anymore if you upgrade. Death has finally come to Final Cut Pro 7, with the official announcement from Apple that FCP-7 won't launch in High Sierra.ДЇinal Cut Pro, the application with which many of us learned to edit, and launched companies and careers, will no longer open in the newest OS from Apple, High Sierra.
